Does Your Face Fit......With Scotland's First Minister?

I could be wrong, but I'm beginning to notice something of a pattern here.

The First Minister flew to Iceland recently (during the climate change 'emergency') and presented the Icelandic Prime Minister, Katrín Jakobsdóttir, with a copy of Val McDermid's new crime book, 1979.

Now we learn that Val McDermid, who is known to be a close friend of Nicola Sturgeon, was allowed to use the First Minister's official residence at Bute House to launch another new book, My Scotland.

Nicola Sturgeon said it was 'great' to catch up with Katrín Jakobsdóttir

Nicola Sturgeon was also on social media recently helping to publicise Alan Cumming's new memoir, 'Baggage'

So I think it's fair to ask - is Nicola Sturgeon doing her best to promote Scotland or is the First Minister only interested in promoting SNP supporters and fellow nationalists?

"First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act. Some Councils are allowed to cull them however, and usually do this by either poisoning or shooting them. How to catch your seagull. Remember this is against the law in the U.K. I don't want the Men in Blue knocking at the door because someone said that Foodimum told them it was okay to catch and eat seagulls. It isn...
